Limited?

Psalm 71:15 “My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long—-though I know not how to relate them all.” Many books–many authors–one theme–one purpose–absolute truth–no contradictions–written by inspiration–where God reveals Himself–written over centuries–half explains the life, death and resurrection of God/man named Jesus.  That is the definition of phenomenal!  And this Book contains all lessons to lead a very successful life.  Wouldn’t it be foolish to not study this Book?

A sure faith

Psalm 71:14 “As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.” Being sure with absolute confidence is a wonderful gift to be enjoyed by every faith filled follower of our One and Only True God.  The world is full of gods, David knew that, Abraham knew that, Ruth knew that, all the disciples knew that (the list of believers is endless) and you and I know that.  God has placed in our hearts the solid truth regarding Himself and His Word.  All believers could not be more blessed.  Praise God and thank God for our faith filled hearts. Have a great weekend.

Praise God

Psalm 69:34 “Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them,” The Creator of the universe certainly deserves our praise.  You and I cannot even create a speck of dust or a leaf on a tree or a drop of water from nothing, yet God created the entire universe out of nothing.  We cannot comprehend the awesomeness of God.  You and I, like our Psalmist, can only praise Him–praise Him even without being able to comprehend His glory.  What a phenomenal God — and to think He loves us.

Who else does this?

Psalm 68:20 “Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.” There is no God from any other religion who distinguishes itself as does the Absolute Majestic God who lives with the love of salvation for every faith filled follower.  No other faith has a God  who takes the abuse our True Sacrificial God takes and still blesses His followers.  When this earthly life is over, immediately our eternal life begins.  Nothing could be better.  Never fear death as it is the gateway to Life.

Praise

Psalm 68:19 “Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.” There is no one on earth who does not have problems.  There is a huge difference, however, how people solve those problems. One group says, relying on oneself–God, (in a manner using God’s name inappropriately) how am I going to solve these problems?  While the other group says–God, help me solve these problems.   One group relies on self.  One group relies on and walks with their Savior.  The one who walks with their Savior always succeeds while the other group will always live in wondering what to do.  Which group are you in?

A distinction

Psalm 68:3 “But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.” God wants His faith filled followers to enjoy life.  He wants you and me to live in the security of His constant presence, guidance and love.  Never does He want us to live in fear–even in the presence of death.  God sent His Son to overcome fear for each of us as He knew no fear and therefore neither should you or I.  Never fear.  Always enjoy.  What could be better than being His blessed child!

Prayer continues

Psalm 67:7 “May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him. Our Psalmist is not only appreciative of what God has done for him, he is concerned for the rest of mankind.  He prays God will bless all of mankind because He is both capable and wonderful.  You and I pray that same prayer so all men and women and children learn to love God as He intends and then receive the blessings which tremendously affect a person both in this life and in in our life to come for all eternity.  What a magnificent God we serve. Have a great weekend.

A daily prayer?

Psalm 67:1 “may God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us–” It is very difficult for you and me to truly realize what we are asking when we pray this Psalm.  We are asking the true God of the Universe, with all His power 1. to love us and 2. to shower us with His richness and 3. make us His faithful disciples.  Could we possibly ask for more?  The piece which is so difficult for you and me to understand is God answering us and saying—sure, I can and will do that!  We can only thank our wonderful God.

Key words–Praise, not rejected, love

Psalm 66:20 “Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love for me!” The relationship every Christian has with their Savior is beyond unique.  We praise Him, and we know He listens with love.  All fathers should let the example our God provides permeate their {our} lives and the result will be praise and love.  We worship an amazing God.  We praise and thank Him.

Praise God

Psalm 66:8 “Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;” God certainly deserves our continual praise.  Are we faithful in that praise? None of us can say–yes.  David gives us a great reminder.  Let’s not be overwhelmed with the chores of this life and forget the purpose of life, our responsibilities in this life and the praise and honor we joyfully and faithfully give to our God.

Consistent thought

Psalm 59:17 “You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.” Our author, David, knows he cannot live without God.  He knows he must have a close relationship with Him.  And David wants the rest of the world to know this same truth applies to each of us.  Can anyone think of anytime in their life when David’s truth does not apply?  Since none of us can—let’s live accordingly.

Repeated thought for emphasis

Psalm 59:17 “You are my strength, I will sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.” Why would David repeat a thought?  Answer: Because of the importance of that thought.  The truths of this passage guide our lives–constantly guide our lives.  This thought could be repeated a million times and it wouldn’t be enough.  If that’s the truth, and it is, this passage has a huge impact thought on your and my lives. Have a great weekend.
